Closing Date, such provision, as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date, will be sufficient for the then-accrued and unpaid Taxes not yet due and payable of the Company.

full force and effect. 


        (b)   The
Company has not received any notice of cancellation or termination with respect to any material insurance policy thereof and there are no pending disputes or

        The
Purchasers represent and warrant, severally and not jointly, to the Company as follows: 


        5.1    Corporate Power and Authority.    Each Purchaser has all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute,
deliver, enter into, and consummate the transactions contemplated by and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents and the applicable Subscription Agreement. The execution,
delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents and its applicable Subscription Agreement by each Purchaser has been duly authorized by all required corporate and other actions. Each
Purchaser has duly executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents and its Subscription Agreement, and each of the Transaction Documents and the applicable Subscription Agreement constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against each Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to the rights of creditors generally or under general principles of equity. 



        5.2    Investment Intent.    Each Purchaser is capable of evaluating the risk of its investment in the Shares being
purchased by it hereunder and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment. Each Purchaser is purchasing the Shares to be purchased by it for its own account for investment and not with a
present view to any distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws; provided, however,
that each Purchaser may transfer record and/or beneficial ownership of the Shares to one or more Affiliates, officers or employees of Affiliates or investment funds managed by Affiliates of such
Purchaser, in all cases in compliance with federal securities laws. It is understood that the disposition of each Purchaser's property shall at all times be within such Purchaser's control. If the
Purchasers should in the future decide to dispose of any of their Shares, it is understood that each Purchaser may do so only in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state and federal
securities laws, this Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated herein, or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom. Each Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. 


14







 



        5.3    Brokers.    No broker, finder, or investment banker or other party is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or
other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transaction Documents, based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of each Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. 


SECTION 6. PURCHASER COVENANTS  


        6.1    Restrictions on Transfer.    Each Purchaser agrees that it shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares
unless such Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and, to the extent required, under any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration
requirements. The Company may endorse on all certificates representing Shares a legend stating or referring to such transfer restrictions and those as set forth in Section 6.2;  provided, that no
such legend shall be endorsed on any Share certificates that, when issued, are no longer subject to the restrictions of this
Section 6. Each Purchaser shall provide the Company with an opinion of its counsel stating that the transfer of such Shares is in compliance with all federal securities laws or an applicable
exemption therefrom. The Company shall not unreasonably delay the transfer of such Shares. 



        6.2    "Market Stand-Off" Agreement.    Each Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior
written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and ending on the date specified
by the Company and the managing underwriter (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock
(whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Purchaser or are thereafter acquired) held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for such offering, or
(ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction
described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 shall
not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Purchasers if all officers, directors and greater than 5% shareholders
of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company's IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.2 and shall have the right, power
and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Purchaser further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the
Company's IPO that are consistent with this Section 6.2 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. 


        In
order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Capital Stock held by each Purchaser (and the
shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
